WASHINGTON NOTES.
A DANGEROUS INSECT.

WASHINGTON, June 15.--Professor
Riley, of the entomologisi department.
of agriculture, has made public the
result of an extensive personal inves-
tigation into the habits OF the phoro-
don humuli, or hop louise. His dis
coveries are expected to prove OF great
value to hop growers, as he has sue.
ceeded in learning the habitation OF
this plant pest during the winter
months and tracing it through various
stages of insect life. Before the Pro-
fessors investigation it was not
known how or where the IN
sects survived the winter. AS n
result of his inquiries the Professor
has satisfied himself that the eggs
laid bv the female ut the close OF the
summer are deposited in plum trees,
where the insect matches in the spring
and resides until the third generation
This third brood, unlike its predeces-
sors, is winged, and immediately after
development abandons the plum trees
and attacks the hop vine. In the
autumn the winter migration from the
hop vine to the plum tree occurs.
Winter eggs are deposited
and the cycle of life goes on
in the same fashion. In is notable
fact that in regions where the cultiva-
ton of hop vines is new industry
growers have had complete immunity
for while from this pest. In Cali.
fornia, to. day, they are not troubled
by it. The professor believes that the
phorodon humuli has been brought
to this country from Europe on plum
stock, and there is reason to believe
that the phylloxera, the dreaded grape
pest, was carried from this country to
Europe on grape vine cuttings.
Therefore California hop growers
are warned to beware of importing
plum stock from eastern hop regions.
These discoveries render it possible to
check tbs ravages of the hop louise
either by the use of insect acids in the
spring time before the insects have
a,eached the winged state, or by the
destruction of the sheltering plum
trees. Experiments will be continued
with view of protecting hop vines
after they have become infested with
lice.

Table Land of Tennessea

There are peculiarites of climate
that are not easily accounted for. Per-
haps were any of them to be left out,
the charm would be gone, but altogeth-
er make it remarkable place. The
altitude is but little over 1900 feet,
but there is such a delightful breeze
sweeping over the plcateau, uninter-
rupted by surrounding heights, that no
vestige of malaria could possibly Turk
there. Then the water, while Imp:d
and pure as spring water can possibly
be, is strongly impregnated with the
minerals that underlie the mountains.
If there is disease of any kind in the
system. these waters will bring it to
the surface, either in the form of boi|s
or fine eruption, which is not agrcea-
BILE at the time, but which leaves the
patient we'll at last. 1t must be the
climate and water combined that do
this, for until few years past the diet
was certainly adverse to health, being
confined to bacon and corn bread.
With the new civil Eat on. all of the
comforts and manners of the outer
world have crept in, and as wild game
abounds, the table need never be linz
tied. Indeed, think the menu of :,
supper given there few weeks AGO
would compare favorbly with any one IN
our larger towns, beginning with oysters
and ending with Neapolitan cream

The most noted convert to Catholi-
cism of recent years is that of John
Ruskin. He brings to the church only

gives a very modest income. Ruskin

His Splendid Memory.

They were an impecunious crowd
hanging around a street corner in Aus
tin. hoping that some friend would
come along and offer to treat, for they
were very dry. And you will notice
that man is never so horribly; thirsty
| as when he is broke.
A friend did come along after while,
but he was no better fixed than the rest
of them in pecuniary way; but he had
resources in wit and invention that
made him wealthy that day. 1t was
Tom Anjerry, recently suspended from
the University of Texas for playing
pranks on the faculty.

the anxious countenances of his friends.

and invite us to beer. Can you 20 it;

''rm broke, too." said Tom; ''but

Then Tom led the way to neighbour

for the party: Il tell you," said Tom,
as they were absorbing the beverage,
''memory is one OF the greatest gifts to

An Indian Ghost.

Ventura (Cal) Free Press.
The most weird story We have heard
is told BY two well-known young men
Of this place; Who were on q prospect.
ing tour near Cobblestoae mountain,
at tho northern boundary of the coun=
ty. One cold night they were simulta-
neously awakened about two O'Clock
by the noise of cracking brush that
had been thrown on the fire. They
arose to . sitting posture and saw the
figure OF an Indian woman standing
by the fire.: She was dressed in a robe
OF gayly-colored material that nearly
reached her feet. A glistening neck
lace. evidently of gold and silver, en-
rlched her neck. and, hanging pendant
from this were a number.o bear claws.
Her black hair reached below her
waist. In her ears were large hoop
earrings Of gold.
Upon seeing the form one of the
young men instinctively reached for
his rifle by his side. When the figure
saw the motion she motioned for him
not to fire, and moved down the trail,
reckoning to them. Before disappear.
Ing from view she again beckoned, but
they werdtoo dumb founded to follow.
The next morning they followed the
trail; and, after much difficulty, trac-
ed the footprints to the base of q high
cliff about q lille from their camp:
The rest Of the story told is to this
effect: 'The next morning we discussed
the matter, and determined to inves.
tigate. So the next night we took our
blankets and went to the base CT the
cliff. At about midnight, the same
hour, the figure appeared to us; we
saw a bright phosphorescent light on
the brow Of the cliff, and l am sure we
heard q voice calling 'Meeneah! Meen-
eah!"
An old Indian tradition is to the
effect that many, many years ago an
Indian Meeneah, the only
daughter ofa chief-was lost in this
region ind starved to death near the
place called Squaw Flat. 1t is said
that many camping parties have seen
the phosphorescent light spoken of in
the, Vicinity ~here the young men were
camped.

SealSkinS:;

There is a popular notion ttat the
sealskin as we see it at the furrier's is
just as it is taken off the animal, says
writer in All the Year Round.
Nothing, however, could be more con-
trary to fact. Few skins are less at
tractive than this at first, as the FUR
is completely covered and hidden by
the dull gtaybrown and grizzled over
hair. This mask has then to b.
removed; and this is an operation re-
quiring @ very great amount of pa:
thence and skill, with consequent in:
crease in price. The unharing is effect
ed by warmth and moisture, which
sottens the roots Of the over hair and
enables it to be pulled out; or by
shaving the inner side very thin,
which cuts off the roots of the hair,
which penetrate deeply, and leaves
untouched those of the fur, which are
very superficial. Whichever method
is employed, the hair must be taken
of uniformly or the fur will never lie
smoothly, but always have a rumpled
look, which can never be corrected by
any subsequent treatment. This will
explain to some extent the cause of
the high price ofsealskin jackets and
cloaks, and also the cause of the differ:
ent prices o1ie hears of, as good many
skins are more or less spoiled in the
dressing. Another cause, too, is the
quality of the dye, and the workman
ship employed in it's use. The liquid
color is put on with q brush, and the
points OF the standing fur carefully
covered; the skin is then rolled up,
fur inside, and then, after alittle time,
hung up and dried. The dry dye is
then removed and a further coat ap-
piled, dried, removed and so on, till
the requisite shade is obtained. One
or two of these coats are laid on thick
and pressed down to the roots of the
tur, making what is called the ground.
From eight to twelve coats are needed
to produce q good color. No wonder
q first-class sealskin is expensive. 1t
is just as true now as ever it was; but
in these days of universal cheapness
one is apt to forget that, if you want
a really good thing, you must pay O
good price.
